hostname and/or Computername not persistent
Mac Mini M1
macOS Ventura 13.2.1
hostname and Computername are set to e.g. "mainframe", but it changes in Terminal to "Mac-mini" (which is the Model-Name).
Why is this so? How can user make the chose name persistent?
I set the name in System Settings > General > About > Name, in System Settings > Sharing > Local hostname where it is displayed correctly.
When setting the name, it is also displayed in Terminal (I also set it via console using "hostname mainframe").
But shortly after, it changes to "Mac-mini"...
Is this a bug or a feature? 😉
P.S. this is not a DNS issue - none of the local Domain Name Servers know the Mini's IP or its hostname.
